Baseball: 1982 All Star Game

Le 13 juillet 1982, le baseball majeur présentait pour la première fois son match d'étoiles à l'extérieur des États-Unis, alors que Montréal recevait la classique de mi-saison.
Les 59 000 spectateurs présents au Stade Olympique purent voir 5 de leurs favoris des Expos: Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Steve Rogers et Al Oliver.
Avant le match, il y eut une cérémonie incluant la veuve de Jackie Robinson.
Vos lanceurs partants: Dennis Eckersley (Red Sox) pour la ligue Américaine et Steve Rogers (Expos) pour la Nationale.
Ce match fut diffusé en direct à NBC, et repris par TSN en 2020.

Wow look @ these lineups and reserves 18 MLB hall of famers and easily another 4 or 5 who should be in the HOF. How does Al Oliver amass over 2700 career hits 1400 rbi's seven all-star appearances and a career ave of .303 after a 19 year career and receive 4.3 % of hall of fame votes in his only year of eligibility? That makes no sense!

David Concepcion was the best SS of his era and should be a HoF inductee.

At that time, Montreal was one of the most incredible cities in North America to watch a baseball game. There was an atmosphere comparable to the one that we found in Rio at the time of carnival. The city lost a lot when the Expos left in 2004. Major League Baseball even more so.

Return the Expos to Montreal. Let's go Expos.

[@Joseph-n4c5l]

Look at those uniforms - especially the Reds the Expos. Beautiful.

[@bshaker1188]

Did the Oakland A’s not get the memo they needed their road uniforms?

[@MrViyasan]

That anecdote from Mrs. Robinson was very touching
